I definitely needed to hear this today. I’ve been in a rut recently with the lack of writing I’ve been doing recently. Mostly I get overly ambitious and have so many ideas that I end up getting nothing down on paper. It leaves me feeling like a bit of a failure myself. But I try not to compromise the rest of my life and my sanity to sit in front of my computer screen for another unproductive day. Sometimes you need to just give yourself a break! Like you said, it’s all about the balance.
